Make Your Own Sweet Quilt from Candy Heart Blocks

Mini Dresden Block Instructions are Included!

Go through your stash and pull out a wide variety of 2 1/2″ squares for blocks like those in this beautiful quilt. This is a great project for using up leftover charm squares, jelly roll strips and scraps.

Or, choose several mini (candy) charm packs of coordinated 2 1/2″ squares. White makes a lovely background or go with whatever color works nicely with your patches.

The quilt shown here, by @JENNR8R is made from several heart blocks. Mini Dresden Plate blocks are lined up across each end. Learn more about the quilt here.

While we don’t have a complete pattern, instructions are available for both the heart and Dresden Plate blocks. Have fun configuring them however you wish into a quilt. To replicate the quilt shown above the designer offered this information:

“Are you asking how to set the Valentine Candy blocks? I just put sashing between the blocks and set them on point. Here is a tutorial on how to set blocks on point: https://www.generations-quilt-patter…triangles.html“

Also, one heart block makes a lovely mini quilt for your wall or table. The following quilt is by @Leesewzany who added background patches to square off the heart.

The finished block is 12″ square.
